GS GSA - 2015

Communiqué de presse aujourd'hui de BMW

La grosse nouveauté: le Keyless ride. Rien de bien croustillant. Existe chez d'autres marques depuis longtemps (Kawa, Ducati)

BMW R 1200 GS.
As of model year 2015, the R 1200 GS will not just be available with new paint finishes. With a view to enhanced running smoothness, it will also be fitted with a crankshaft with increased gyrating masses as in the R 1200 GS Adventure and R 1200 RT. In addition, the R 1200 GS can also be fitted with the BMW Motorrad Keyless Ride System as an ex-works option. This enables both the steering lock and the fuel filler flap to be locked and unlocked. The motorcycle is started using the starter button as before. With Keyless Ride, the key can always remain in the rider's clothing. The Shift Assistant Pro available as an option ex works allows the rider to shift up without clutch, enabling acceleration virtually without torque interrupt. It also allows downshifting without using the clutch.

An overview of the new features in the R 1200 GS:

  • Increased gyrating masses in the crankshaft
  • Shift Assistant Pro (option)
  • Keyless Ride (option
  • New paint finish Alpine white in conjunction with drive and suspension components in black
  • New paint finish Frozen dark blue metallic

BMW R 1200 GS Adventure.
As of model year 2015, the R 1200 GS Adventure will also comprise new features which make handling the ultimate long-distance travel enduro even more dynamic and comfortable. For example, it can be fitted with the BMW Motorrad Keyless Ride System as an ex-works option. This enables both the steering lock and the fuel filler flap to be locked and unlocked. The motorcycle is started using the starter button as before. With Keyless Ride, the key can always remain in the rider's clothing. The Shift Assistant Pro available as an option ex works allows the rider to shift up without clutch, enabling acceleration virtually without torque interrupt. It also allows downshifting without using the clutch. As an option ex works, the

In conjunction with a reduction in seat height by 30 millimetres to 860 millimetres, the R 1200 GS Adventure is now also within reach of customers for whom the previous seat height posed an insurmountable obstacle. If a further reduction in seat height is required, the R 1200 GS Adventure can also be fitted with the seats of the R 1200 GS. This reduces seat height by an additional 20 millimetres.

An overview of the new features in the R 1200 GS Adventure:
